I picked up some new rims from the junkyard today, they are stock Honda rims, but I have no idea what model they are off of, I go them off of a 4th gen accord. They are 15x5.5 aluminum they have a center caps with the honda symbol, and then on the outside of them it is kinda of a spoke design I guess you could call them that, but anyways I only paid $65 for 4 of them. Im wondering what size, the tire guide says 195/55-15 would fit fine, but im wondering if it would look weird since my car ins't lowered yet.

They won't fit your Accord if they are stock wheels off a newer model--they have a different bolt pattern.

they have to be 4x100 to be able to fit on our hondas. size u could go up 16 maybe even 17.

The holes match up or I could have swore they do, I've seen some 3geez out there with this type of rim on them. So a 90 Honda accord bolt pattern is different than ours¿

as long as there are only 4 bolts that go on the wheel ur good. newer stock honda rims will fit our cars, only thing is they have to be on a 4 cylynder honda, and have 4 bolt pattern similar to ours.

Busted Blue has some pretty new stock honda rims. Look pretty good and fit well too. So it is possible.

No. 1990+ Accords with 4 lugs have a 4 x 114.3 mm bolt pattern. 4 lug integras and civics use the same pattern as our older accords (4 x 100 mm). Any newer stock-looking wheel probably came from one of these instead.

When I was younger and uninformed of 3geez I tried putting rims off a 91 Accord on my 3g. Doesn't work.

same here, I paid $300 for wheel adapters so that my rims will fit. If you really like the rims that you got, get a good pair of wheel adapters, if not sell the wheels you only paid $65, you could sell for $80.

I paid that because I got a steal of a deal on some 17" Konig rims. Only paid $800 and the guy let me pay in by-weekly installments of $200.

What exactly are wheel adapters¿ and where can I get them. Also is it possible to swap hubs from a 90+ accord to ours so that we can fit different rims¿

One side fits our car and the other side fits the 90+ accord, that's how I got the rims in my pic on my car, those rims are from a 94 accord. I got them from auto finishers, they sell aftermarket parts, so I guess your local aftermarket performance shop.
